ampalaya as an alternative antibacterial
The Efficiency of Ampalaya (Momordica charantia) Leaves Extract as Antibacterial Soap

Abstract:
Plants play a vital role in the production of most medicine and drugs. Extracts of different plants are known to have therapeutic effects. Synthetics and pharmaceuticals are based on natural compounds first found on plants, bacteria and fungi. About 40% of all prescribed drugs are derived from natural substances composed of scientifically developed synthetic drugs (Valencia, 2008).
The skin is made up of thousands of tissues and its outer covering (epidermis) serves as a protector against germs. The skin is exposed to millions of germs, thus, it can easily get rid of germs that can cause allergies or other skin problems.
The ampalaya (Momordica charantia) plant growing all over the country is seemingly known not just as nutritious vegetable but also nowadays as a commercial medicine against diabetes. The researchers have been looking for the antibacterial property of the ampalaya (Momordica charantia) plant particularly its leaves.
In this project, the researchers attempt to create another product which is less expensive than any other commercial product and it will not harm our skin.

Besides providing protection to the body the skin has a host of other functions to be performed like regulating body temperature, immune protection, sensations of touch, heat, cold, and pain through the sensory nerve endings, communicating with external openings of numerous other body systems like digestive system, urogenital system, and respiratory system via mucous membranes.The skin is primarily composed of three layers. The skin, which appears to be so thin, is still itself divided into epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layer or hypodermis.
